My laptop's account is my Microsoft account, therefore I can access my OneDrive from Windows explorer. When I look at what's using all of my hard drive's space with WizTree, it shows that my "OneDrive folder" is using it all up. Is that implying that my OneDrive files are stored on my physical laptop hard drive? I thought it was a Microsoft server.

OneDrive stores data locally on the hard drive as well as the cloud. That's just how it works :) It's called redundancy, so should files be lost on the local hard drive that are available on the cloud, it'll redownload it to the hard drive so it's available.

That's kind of silly... is there a way to disable that?
